Mr. Riad met the President in Damascus on Sunday (13 June), and he described the meeting as "very positive".

SYNOPSIS: On Saturday, the Prime Minister of Libya, Mr. Abdel Salam Jalloud, was in Damascus, accompanied by the Algerian Education Minister, Mr. Abdul Karim Mahmoud, to continue their shuttle diplomacy between Syria and the Lebanese capital, Beirut, in an effort to end the fourteen-month-old Lebanese conflict. While in Damascus, Mr. Jalloud was quoted as saying that Libyan troops had taken up positions in Lebanon.
On the same day, President Assad has a meeting with the Foreign Minister of Qatar, Shiek Suhaim Bin Hamad Al-Thani. Also present was the Syrian Foreign Minister, Mr. Abdul-Halim Khaddam. Qatar is a member of the Arab League which is helping to organise a peace force from Arab states to replace the three brigades of Syrian troops that entered Lebanon eleven days ago.
